Product Description

The Keyence FS-N15CN is a compact, M8 connector-type digital fiber amplifier designed for high-speed, precise detection in industrial automation applications. It features a red 4-element LED light source with a wavelength of 630 nm, offering selectable LIGHT-ON/DARK-ON output modes. With a response time of up to 50 µs in HIGH SPEED mode and a range of 50 µs to 16 ms across various modes, it ensures rapid and accurate detection. The amplifier supports an NPN open collector output with a maximum current of 100 mA and a residual voltage of 1 V or less. It operates within a temperature range of -20 to +55°C and has an IP66 enclosure rating, providing protection against dust and water ingress. The FS-N15CN is ideal for applications requiring reliable and fast detection in compact spaces.
